Seems to be a good match on Lepidoptera Butterfly House.

I think the larvae of E excursaria and E. bispinaria, and possibly other Ectropis species, are too variable in colour to distinguish between the species. Unless it was reared to get an adult, I think the best we can say for this specimen is 'Ectropis sp., immature'
